OTM (On Track Modeling) aka
AMG (Alpha Model Group)
To Whom It May Concern:
My daughter heard the commercial about the "free" audition
for modeling and acting. I was insistent that this was
a scam but she insisted that it was legitimate, so I
took her down to see what it was all about.
I became skeptical right away when the speaker tried
to reassure everyone that OTM was legitimate and had
very few complaints filed. He kept stressing that OTM
was not like the other agencies that charged fees of
some sort.
After one hour of listening to the pitch, he subtly
mentions how important the comp card and photo shoot
will be to advancing the model's career. A "fashion" photographer
was needed, not just any old photographer.
And just as I suspected OTM can line up your photo shoot
for a mere $599. The "Scam" alert was going
off for me.
After arriving home tonight, I took up the speaker's
challenge to check OTM on the internet. But I went beyond
OTM's website and decided to search for "Modeling
Scams." This site came up and I wasn't surprised
to see OTM listed as one of the companies.
I am sure that of the 200 aspiring models who call the
hotel tomorrow all will be told: "Congratulations,
you have what it takes to be a model."
Of course the only criteria to be a model is: "Can
you pay $599 for the photo shoot?"
